Philosophy

The St. Luke Pre-School serves our community by providing a quality pre-school education in an early-childhood setting. Through developmentally appropriate activities, young children are nurtured socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually and spiritually.

Since faith is not studied, but lived, the children will learn to respect the feelings and the rights of others through the knowledge that all members of the class are valued and loved.

The Pre-School at St. Luke welcomes children of any race, creed, gender or ethnic background.
